Tips on e-mailing resumes

Tips on e-mailing
Today sending resumes through e-mails is the most effective & fastest way of
job hunting. If you notice your resume getting rejected frequently and inadequate
responses to your emails, go through the following ten tips to increase the
effectiveness of your resume.

1. While applying for a job, as far as possible try to put the company's mailID
in the 'TO' column instead of keeping it in the 'CC' or 'BCC' column.

2. Do not keep any other company's mailID in the 'CC' of the same mail.

3. If necessary you can keep your own mailID in the 'CC' of the same mail.

4. While sending resumes to many E-mail Ids at the same time, keep all the addresses
in the 'BCC' of the mail which will not be visible for the recipients. Also put
your own mailID in the 'TO' column.

5. You can paste your resume in the mail Text or can be attached as a document unless
it is specifically mentioned.

6. While applying for any company's notifications, do follow the
instructions word by word.

7. When you are asked to write any particular 'subject line', write exactly
what is being asked to do. This is Very very important because today all the
mail boxes are attacked by spam & virus mails and the recipient will be filtering
your mails automatically/manually based on the mail subject only.

For eg. When you are asked to write the subject 'Software Engineer-Bangalore",
write exactly that and do not write "I am applying for the post of
Software Engineer - Bangalore"

8. Also try to write the important part of your subject at the beginning because
in the recipient's mail box the longest subjects will be truncated and only the
first part will be displayed.

For eg. Instead of writing 'My Freshersworld.com registration no. is cse12345'
try writing 'cse12345 - Freshersworld.com Registration no.'. Please note here
that the company will be looking only for your registration no. and it is
better if you write just " cse12345 ".

9. Pls note that all your casual mails with the subject ' Freshers Resume' or
'Registration details' will be summarily deleted and do not spend time on
sending such mails where the notification asks you to put specific 'subject'.

10. Do not send the mail 3 or 4 times in order to make sure it reaches correctly
which may irritate the recipient. Instead, in the first mail itself put your
own mailID in the 'BCC' and check if the mail is received properly.
